Did youll notice that after you save any photoshop image having backgrount transparent in .jpg format it no mor retains the transparent backgrount but turns into white background but if it is saved in GIF then it does remain the same.

Any idea by which we can do it to jpg image cos gif image dose not maintain the exact coulours,shades and feather a set in photoshop??

Gif does maintain the exact web colours, it works exacltly perfectly for me :P
You could use a pSD file, or you could colour the background to match where it is

Dosent seem like GIF maintains exact colours. Cos when i set feather to any image and then save it as .GIF the feathger dosenot appear at all. It just becomes sharp borders.

ANy particular way to maintain them???

Jpeg does not have transparency. However GIF/PNG do. I would suggest GIF for smaller images. PNG however has the best support for transparency that I know of. I would use PNG 24 as it is better quality then PNG 8.
